Step 2: Prop up left hand side of the barbecue
In order to attach casters and wheels to the barbecue, each side
of the unit must alternately be propped up to provide access to
the bottom of the legs. A block of wood or other solid item
about 4-6 inches high will suffice for this purpose.
The same process can be used with the right
legs for attachment of the unit’s wheels.
NOTE: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY ASSEMBLY, REMOVE THE
BARBECUE’S BASE PANELS (See Fig. 1) TO PERVENT THEM
FROM BEING DAMAGED.

Step 5: Attach Shelf Supports Materials Required: Left and Right shelf supports and eight
shim washers.
VERMONT CASTINGS
Attach the right shelf support to the barbecue by loosening the 4 existing leg bolts, approximately 3 turns
only, so that the shelf support can slide over the bolt heads. Insert a shim washer sideways behind the head
of one of the bolts and in front of the shelf support. Tighten the bolt using the 7/16” (11 mm) wrench/
ratchet or adjustable wrench. Repeat inserting shim washers behind the heads of the remaining 3 bolts.
Attach the left shelf support in the same manner.
Step 6: Install Handle Grips
Materials Required: Three handle
grip sets (six pieces total) and six
#4 x 3/4” Philips screws.
Place the top half of one handle grip, the half bearing the Vermont Castings logo, onto the right shelf support
handle. Use the holes provided as a guide. Snap the two halves of the handle grip together and secure them
using two Philips screws and a Philips screwdriver.
Repeat this procedure for the left shelf support handle grip.
Finally, attach the last handle grip to the front lid handle.
